Still not much going on for the Daytona offense in game two, but it was nice to see them come back from a 3-0 deficit to force extra innings. Pin-Chieh Chen had a solid game from the lead-off spot, going 3-for-5 with a double, and RBI, and a run scored. The middle of the order came up empty again tonight, but the bottom of the order was productive. Bijan Rademacher was 2-for-4 with a double, run scored, and was caught stealing. For the second straight game Gioskar Amaya was solid, he went 1-for-3 with a walk, and a run scored.

On The Mound:

Jose Rosario got the start for Daytona, and struggled with his command for most of the night. Rosario worked four innings, giving up three runs on five hits, while walking three, and striking out five. Michael Jensen, and Andrew McKirahan each worked two scoreless innings out of the pen to get the game into extra innings. Austin Reed took the loss for Daytona, he worked two innings, giving up one run on one hit, while walking one, and striking out three.

Not a lot of offense in this one, but just enough for the Smokies to win their first game of the season. It was Kris Bryant once again, Bryant went 1-for-4 with his second home run of the season, an RBI, and a run scored. Dustin Geiger was able to get his first hit of the season, he went 1-for-4 with a single in the win.

On The Mound:

The other big news of the night was C.J. Edwards making his double A debut, and he didn’t disappoint. Edwards worked four scoreless innings giving up one hit, while walking one, and striking out four, outstanding. The rest of the Smokies staff was untouchable as well, P.J. Francescon took over for Edwards and took home the win. Francescon worked three scoreless innings giving up two hits while walking one, and striking out two. Armando Rivero was just about perfect in the late innings of this one, as he earned his first save of the season, Rivero worked two scoreless innings giving up one hit, while striking out four.

The Iowa Cubs are mirroring the big league club with the bats, and that’s not a good thing, they came up empty in a 9-0 loss to Memphis tonight. Matt Szczur lead-off for Iowa and was 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, and a stolen base. That was it, Iowa only had two hits in the loss, they did draw five walks but were 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position.

On The Mound:

Three bad innings, that’s all it took tonight as Memphis scored once in the fourth, three times in the fifth, and five times in the sixth. Carlos Pimentel got the start for Iowa, and also took the loss, he worked five innings, giving up four runs on five hits, while striking out six. Jonathan Sanchez was much worse, he worked two-thirds of an inning, giving up five runs on one hit (ONE HIT), while walking three, and striking out three. Marcos Mateo, Blake Parker, and Zac Rosscup all had scoreless appearances out of the pen, but it was too little too late.
